I don't mind floridasteve being a critic of Boeheim and Hopkins, but he just says the same thing over and over and over again. He sounds like a broken record. Not only that but he talks like he knows everything and we know nothing.

Floridasteve, Your actually praising Rutgers over us? That there shows your just all about recruiting and not about results. Let's see how good Rutgers will be. All this coach is getting is talent, but seems that's enough for you. And you keep on saying he can't recruit, but then how did he get so many high school all Americans down here? Yes I agree he might not be the best but he certainly gets good enough talent to be a top 10-15 team. I can guarantee that JB will win another championship before he retires. Hopefully that will shut your mouth once and for all.

Floridasteve, then I don't understand why you said St. John's was in a crime ridden area. It's far from it. That's why I questioned you there.

Also can't agree with you about Boeheim not being able to recruit. It's not all about getting the 5 star recruits. And you list Izzo there. His recruits are the most low key guys that are from the Midwest area. He doesn't cover a wide region. And look how great he's been. It's not about getting great players from high school, it's about getting guys that fit your system. It's true he's not the greatest recruiter and I'm not saying that. We still end up with good teams and develop NBA players. Maybe we haven't been like UConn in terms of developing NBA players but we still develop some solid NBA players.

floridasteve, obviously you haven't been to St. John's University ever. I visited the university when deciding which college to go to and it is a nice university in a good neighborhood. In fact, it's located in one of the best neighborhoods of Jamaica, Queens. If you have never been to a place then don't trash it. Also remember that it's located in New York City. And many people just go there because it's in the city. So it's not different for the recruits.

Also has Lavin won any championships? Don't compare him with coach Boeheim. Let him win a championship and then talk. By the way I do doubt coach Boeheim in the way he does things but fact is the guy is a hall of famer and his results speak for himself.

It seems like the offense we had last year. Seems like not much has improved. A lot penalties, fumbles, Nassib throwing interceptions, and the offensive line struggling to pick up assignments. This is a very big worry for us. Is Nassib really that much better then our other QB's? He's an average QB at best. And why is our veteran offensive line struggling? If it's that much of a problem then we need serious competition there for the fall. On the other hand, impressed with the defense. Despite losing so many players, it seems we'll be good again on that side of the ball. We need a strong defense since it seems like the offense will struggle again.

Geez guys why being so picky? Ya I know we have a lot of shooting guards already on our roster but why be picky on a player that's interested in us and is ranked pretty high? What if Triche or Waiters get injured and are out? Or how about if he turns out to be better then Cooney. Or if he turns out to be a great player? If he's interested and if he fits in our system then we should go hard for him.

I just watched the recruiting trail video on ESPN and McReynolds seems like a good kid. He's a very very big and strong kid. He seems to have tremendous potential. We definitely have holes in our D-Line so that's a position we need to recruit. Also he's a highly toted recruit since he played on the All America team. I feel that the decision will come down to UCLA and Syracuse. Hopefully he makes the right decision and comes here. Best of luck to McReynolds in his decision!

I believe this is another mistake by Paul. He's still getting a lot of minutes with that team and his averages aren't that bad. He could still have a chance to get on an NBA team but what good does it do going to Phillipines? It's not gonna get him much recognition.

Some people really need to grow up and step in to this kid's shoes. Even making a decision for regular students are hard enough and this kid has to think about school and football. He needs to take his time to make a good decision. We have to also not get mad and take it out on him if he doesn't wish to attend here. If he does though then obviously we'll be really happy.

Wish Ishaq the best of luck in making his huge decision. Choosing colleges is not easy by any means. I feel it's very wide open right now as to where he will go. I have a feeling though that it will be between ND and the Cuse. Even though a lot of us including myself cannot stand ND but there is no denying the fact that they do have a proud tradition at the school. Their games are on NBC and their constantly talked about during the year even if their not good. Penn St is also a very big name and are a big time program who has a strong fan base. They've been pretty solid the last few years. Syracuse has very good tradition as well which is always a positive. Syracuse will definitely be a lot more low key since they are in the BE. One thing Ishaq has to understand is that he will be a starter here for all his 4 years here. Not only that but the locals and the students would really treat him like family. Can't say that about Penn St and ND. So let's hope Ishaq makes the right decision and comes to SU. Let's Go ORANGE!!

It's the sad reality of the inner cities. Fact is there are still a lot of crimes in the inner cities and unfortunately a lot of innocent people do get killed. It's great to see all these players from these tough neighborhoods make it out of there. Because of their hard work and talent they end up at a great school in Syracuse University. Of course not everyone makes the NBA but hopefully they can end up playing abroad or get a job based on their degree.

Definitely a statement win by St. John's that they are back. They have about eight seniors on the team so not surprised that their playing so well. On top of that Lavin is a great coach. Their gonna be very competitive in the BE from now on. What used to be a cakewalk of a game will be tough especially with the game being in the garden. I'm planning to attend the game. We should be able to handle them but we have to be cautious.

Congrats to a great win. Feels great to be an Orangeman today. Carter was an absolute beast today and we couldn't have done it without him. Bailey was great as well. Nassib was awesome as well. I've been a critic of him all season but today he threw the deep ball so accurately. Hope that he keeps on improving. Sales is our #1 guy for sure. This guy is just too talented to be on the bench. The defense had a hard time but that was expected with such a great running game. They held up at the end which is what matters. What a great story. This team was so depleted with injuries and suspensions and they finished with a winning season and a bowl game. What an impressive season. Gotta give credit to the coaches and players. I am very confident now that Marrone got what it takes to build a strong program. GOOO SU Orange!!

A solid win by the Cuse. We have to remember that it was the 1st BE game and this is a very tough league. I thought Providence was a pretty impressive team especially Marshon Brooks was very impressive. We always had a comfortable lead throughout the game which was good.

We really needed a player like Ameen-Moore. He definitely isn't the fastest RB but definitely is in the mold of Carter which we desperately needed. Bailey and Tyson-Gulley are in the mold of big playmakers who have great breakaway speed. The other recruit we are getting for next year, Tyree Smallwood is also a quick running back with breakaway speed. So we needed a balance and this is definitely the right guy to have. What I like also is that he chose Syracuse over some good solid programs. Wish Ameen-Moore the best of luck at SU.

I'm impressed with that video. He definitely has the quickness to play at this level. Shame we have him for only 2 years but he can start right away next year at MLB. Good to see not other people are dogging on him that he should not play on the team because he didn't get good offers. If he fits in our defense then that should only matter. He definitely needs to bulk up a bit but that won't be too hard I'm sure. Wish this guy the best and hope he can make an impact.

This is definitely a good signing by Marrone. True we already have so many QB's on the depth chart but our QB situation is anything but stable. Nassib was not at all impressive last year and we need to see if there are better players then him on the depth chart. If we find that Nassib is still the best option we have then we could move Kinder, Hunt or Broyld to another position since their good athletes. Nothing wrong with that at all. As people said over here we need as many strong NY recruits as possible. We now have to compete with Rutgers to get recruits. So getting recruits that were considering Rutgers is always a positive. Let's hope Broyld turns out to be a good player. Good luck to Broyld and welcome to SU. Go Cuse!!

Guys I have a friend that's the student manager of the team and he said that they actually did NOT redshirt Kinder. So they might try him out at the bowl game who knows. I wish they did redshirt him though. I don't understand why they didn't since he didn't play the whole season.

What my friend has said is that Kinder has looked impressive at QB and the coaching staff is impressed with him. They are thinking about trying at WR though since he has very good hands and has incredible speed. I personally would rather try out Kinder at QB since Nassib has looked pretty average this year with limited mobility and poor accuracy on his throws. If they decide to keep Nassib at starting QB though then Kinder moving to receiver wouldn't be a bad idea if he has something to offer there. The WR's overall have been nothing special so it's something to look in to as well.

I'm sorry but UConn should not be ranked ahead of us in the rankings just because they beat MSU and an overrated Kentucky team. I mean they were unranked in the preseason polls and now they all of a sudden are ranked higher then us? What did we do that made us ranked lower then UConn? We did our part winning out all the game and UConn should not have been ranked higher. You look at their team also and besides Kemba and Oriakhi they have pretty much nobody. We got Jardine, Joseph, and Jackson who are putting up numbers.
